Guys, Muppet, Yoda, beats CGI, Yoda, any day of the week. We see this in The Empire Strikes Back, where Luke Skywalker is Yoda’s apprentice. Luke follows everything that Yoda says because Yoda has moral authority; we see this moral authority and the gospel for this Sunday at the wedding of Cana. Mary says to the servants, do whatever he tells you, and they do it because Mary has this moral authority; because of how she lives, her holiness, and her relationship with her son, people trust her. In the same way, we are called to have this moral authority. We are called to grow in our holiness and our love and charity so that we can lead others to Jesus. So let’s follow Mary’s moral authority, do whatever he tells us, and be like puppet Yoda, not the CGI Yoda. Bounce it when you have. This is Spirit juice, peace.

Shining Light in the Dark
So why does Batman only come out at night? Because that’s when the criminals come out. You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Criminals prefer working in the darkness rather than the light. And so in the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus says, “The light came into the world, “but people prefer darkness to the light.” The reality is that we are all criminals. We love to keep…

Prioritize Your Soul
Have you guys ever heard of the term skinny fat? Yeah, it’s a thing. It’s a person who looks pretty normal on the outside, but on the inside, fat is growing over all of their organs. Even though you may look fine on the outside, it’s a silent killer. This weekend, we’re celebrating All Souls’ Day, where if we don’t take care of our souls, that’s like…
